commit r12-3045-g29b2fd371f18169141e20b90effa7205db68fb11

    libstdc++: Skip filesystem tests that depend on permissions [PR90787]
    
    Tests that depend on filesystem permissions FAIL if run on Windows or as
    root. Add a helper function to detect those cases, so the tests can skip
    those checks gracefully.
